I wormed my dog yesterday, and today there seems to be 'string' in his poo?

Question

9 week old springer wormed yesterday morning with vet treatment, today there seems to be string in his poo. they weren't movin, does this mean he still has worms or is this normal?

Answer 1

has he been eating grass - our dogs quite often have that in their poo

Answer 2

the worms are dieing and coming out .

Answer 3

This is normal after worming, it is basically the worming treatment clearing out any dead worms.

Answer 4

tape worms being expelled.  Eventually the heads will follow.

Answer 5

just dead worms coming out. make sure you keep worming him, it can take ages before hes completely clear of the worms.  

Answer 6

It is the worms they are dead lol nasty Worm him again in about a month!

Answer 7

Yes it is, the worms are dead now.

Answer 8

Hi there, this is normal as he is just passing the dead worm!

Answer 9

The dead worms are leaving the body. Make sure what you used to worm him with also kills larvae. Did you have your vet diagnose what type worms he had? Not all meds treat all types of worm infestation.

Answer 10

Are they white?  This is common and normal after worming the dog.  It happened to my dog after we wormed him too.  I was shocked and pretty grossed out when it happened, but no worries, its just the worms getting out of the dogs system.  It's not pleasant to see, but better out than in!

Answer 11

they are most probably dead 'tape worm' hence they look like string - probably best to give him another dose of wormer after a week as he may have a more to come out.

Answer 12

He is defecating the parasites!  This is normal after being wormed!

Answer 13

Thats the worm, and it means they are all gone and yep normal

Answer 14

The worming medication kills the worms in his system... so now they're coming out in his f***s.  Gross, but a good sign that the medication is working.
